Cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular
reactivity decline in females every decade during healthy aging.
Figure 1: Mean CBF
(ml/100g/min) for females across decades:
A- 20 to 29 yo; B- 50 to 59
yo; C- 60 to 69 yo; D – 70 to 79 yo. The graph demonstrates the relationship
between age and CBF.
Figure 2: Mean CVR (ml/100g/min/ΔmmHg CO2) for females across
decades:
A - 20 to 29 yo; B- 50 to
59 yo; C- 60 to 69 yo; D – 70 to 79 yo. The graph demonstrates the relationship
between age and CVR.
